Materials Data on Na3SnPCO7 by Materials Project

Abstract

Na3SnCPO7 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted NaO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent PO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent NaO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.65 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.62 Å. In the third Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.76 Å. Sn2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sn–O bond distances ranging from 2.25–2.51 Å. C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.29 Å) and two longer (1.31 Å) C–O bond length. P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent NaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 29–65°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.54–1.58 Å. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Na1+ and one C4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Na1+, one Sn2+, and one C4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Na1+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, one Sn2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Na1+, one Sn2+, and one C4+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Na1+ and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Na1+, one Sn2+, and one P5+ atom.
